A Clash of Gods - Chapter 207

[Chapter 6 The Abstract School]

Qi Ning immediately came to his senses. In this era, there is no abstract school of painting at all.

He just saw that the painting of Shenhou was ambiguous, but the lines were smooth, which seemed to be quite meaningful, and he couldn’t help thinking of abstract painting. In fact, he only knew a little about abstract painting.

“Oh?” When Qi Ning saw Shenhou looking at him, he could only bite the bullet and said: “That is a school of painting. Haven’t Shenhou heard of it?” He knew that Shenhou would never have heard of the abstract school. But that’s all that can be said at this time.

Shenhou was obviously very interested and said, “I know a little about each school of painting. As far as I know, it is mainly divided into the northern school and the southern school. The northern school focuses on landscapes, while the southern school is good at painting. Living things, such as figures of birds and beasts. No matter the north or the south, there are no less than a dozen painting schools, such as the Yingqiu School and the Guan School, which are two famous schools of painting.” Talking about painting Pai, Shenhou talked eloquently: “The weather is sparse and sparse, the smoke forest is clear, the hair is sharp and sharp, the ink method is subtle, the system of the camp is also. The stone body is firm, the miscellaneous trees are lush, the pavilion is elegant, and the characters are leisurely , is the style of the Guan family.”

Qi Ning thought that he should get rid of this topic as soon as possible. The title of Shenhou is “Painting Jue”, and talking about painting in front of him is completely a slap in the face.

At this moment, Ximen Zhanying came in. There was no tea table in the house, so he had to put it on the ground first. The Lord of God didn’t care, but he asked Qi Ning for advice: “Master Xiaohou, the abstract school you mentioned, I have never heard of it, but I don’t know if it belongs to the Northern School or the Southern School?”

“Abstract school?” Ximen Zhanying couldn’t help but said, “Father, if you haven’t even heard of a school of painting, if it’s not well-known, it’s hard to be recognized, or it’s just some people’s rumors, and it doesn’t exist at all.”

Qi Ning didn’t want to talk about this topic at first, but when he heard Ximen Zhanying like a provocation, he was a little unpleasant, but he still smiled: “Miss Ying said, it may be unknown, so she has never heard of it. .” Asked: “Miss Ying, may I ask, do you also know how to draw?”

Ximen Zhanying was stunned for a moment, turned his face away, and did not speak.

Qi Ning understood a little and smiled: “Miss Ying, you are young, and if you don’t know much about the school of painting, you can’t easily judge whether others are talking about it or not? Actually, this abstract school of painting really exists.”

God Hou asked: “Little Hou, what kind of **** is this abstract school?”

Qi Ning knew that it was actually very complicated to explain, and he himself only had a limited understanding of the abstract painting school. , is naturally a first-class masterpiece, you can recognize its shape at a glance, and you can also feel the artistic conception from the shape.”

God Hou nodded slightly.

“These paintings are taken from nature. To put it bluntly, Shenhou’s paintings belong to ink and wash paintings, and they are the culmination of ink and wash paintings, but in the final analysis, they are copies of natural things on paper.” Qi Ning said seriously: “Mountains, rivers and rivers, The figures, birds and beasts are all between existence and nature, that’s why I say that these paintings are taken from nature, but the marvelous brushwork of the gods and the marvelous artistry.”

Ximen Zhanying couldn’t help but said, “Do you know what painting is? If you don’t draw it from nature, what else can you paint?”

“Don’t interrupt.” Shenhou frowned, glanced at Ximen Zhanying, and then asked, “Little Hou, you are talking about the abstract school, how do you explain the word abstract?”

“Master Hou sees the things around him, whether people or objects, this piece of paper and a pen are all concrete and have a specific image.” Qi Ning said this, and saw the expression of Shenhou’s extremely interested expression. , can only bite the bullet and explain: “The so-called abstraction is relative to the figurative, has no specific influence, and exists in the illusion of thinking.”

Shenhou was stunned, obviously surprised by this particular concept, and after a little pondering, he said, “Little Lord, when you say abstraction, do you mean that it is not based on concrete nature?”

Qi Ning thought to himself that Jiang was still old and hot, this godly prince seemed to have understood something, nodded and said, “You can say that. The abstract school,

It is to break the figurative to paint, it is to use intuition and imagination as the starting point of creation, reject any symbolic, literal, explanatory expression, just use shapes or even add some colors to organize a new kind of painting. Compared with the emphasis on color of the Impressionist, the abstraction paid more attention to the combination of shape and color.

”

“Impressionism?” God Hou said in surprise: “What does this mean?”

Qi Ning was startled. The painting said: “Shen Hou, I said just now that this painting is a bit abstract, which means that the shape of this painting is somewhat imaginative and does not have a specific image, but it can still show some touching meanings from it. Come.”

Shenhou opened his mouth, but did not speak, but raised his head slightly, thoughtfully.

In fact, Qi Ning only gave a superficial explanation of the abstract painting method. In fact, he also knew that the abstract painting school is not a single painting school, but a general term for a type of painting style, which also includes geometric abstraction and lyrical abstraction. Knowing a thing or two, I really want to explain it, but I can’t.

But God Hou had never accepted this way of thinking before.

This means that under an inertial way of thinking, he has reached the peak, but he has not jumped out of this circle.

In fact, the abstract painting school is not necessarily better than the ink painting school, but if Qi Ning’s remarks have opened up an unprecedented way for Shenhou’s thinking, the shock that it will bring to Shenhou is that Qi Ning himself did not expect it.

Ximen Zhanying seemed to be listening to the scriptures, not knowing what Qi Ning said.

After a while, Shenhou stretched out his hand and took the painting from Qi Ning’s hand, and said slowly, “This painting was painted by this old man, he didn’t think about it at the time, he just wanted to relieve his emotions, and I didn’t even think about it at the time. I knew what I was going to paint, and then I just put it aside.”

“This is the artistic conception.” Qi Ning hurriedly said: “The Marquis of God did not care about the shape of nature, but expressed his feelings at that time on paper. I dare not say that this is an abstract painting, but it already has some meaning. ”

Shenhou nodded slightly, as if he had understood something, and said, “I see.” He sighed, “It’s like practicing martial arts, I haven’t reached the peak, and I still stick to the moves, but after detaching from the moves, I enter the martial world. It’s another realm.” He squatted down, carefully laid the painting on the drawing board, looked at it carefully for a while, and then raised his head and said, “Little Marquis, but I don’t know where did you know about this school of painting? I started painting at the age of nine, and it has been almost forty years now, and I have come into contact with many schools of painting, but no one has thought of the painting method that Xiao Hou Ye said.”

Qi Ning had already thought about the answer, and said, “This is also a book I read many years ago. I mentioned some things above, but my qualifications are shallow and I don’t have any talent for painting, so I don’t care.”

“Could you remember which book it was?” Shenhou opened his eyes wide and asked anxiously, “Is it the only ancient scroll? Many good things have been left behind by our ancestors, but later generations don’t know it.”

Qi Ning pretended to think about it, and said, “It seems to be an old book. I flipped through it at the time, and then left it aside. I couldn’t find it later, and I also forgot the title of the book.”

With a frustrated expression, Shenhou sighed: “It’s a pity, it’s just a good thing worth a thousand dollars.”

“Shenhou, if you really want it, I’ll go back and look for it, but I can’t guarantee that I can find it.” Qi Ning looked at Shenhou’s disappointed expression and comforted a little, but he thought in his heart, unless I can wear it. Go back and find books that introduce abstract painting methods, otherwise there would be no such books.

Shenhou stepped forward, looking very excited, grabbed Qi Ning’s arm, and said: “Little Hou, please help to find it. If you can find it, no matter what the price is, this old man will spare no expense.”

Qi Ning couldn’t help but glanced at Ximen Zhanying again. Ximen Zhanying was startled and took another step back.

“Don’t worry, Lord Shen, I will do my best.” Qi Ning could only say, seeing Shen Hou’s reaction, this person was really addicted to painting, and it was no wonder that he was able to become a “painter” among the four masters of art.

He originally thought that such a master of painting skills would not change because of his few words. Now it seems that he still underestimated the influence of abstract painting. When the aspect reached a very high height but it was difficult to break through the ceiling, I suddenly heard another way of thinking, and the shock and excitement in my heart was really indescribable in words.

“By the way, Lord Xiaohou, what do you mean by Impressionism?” At this time, the Lord of God was humbly asking for advice, and Ximen Zhanying was very surprised when he saw it.

Ximen Wuhen’s status, whether in the rivers and lakes or in the court, can be said to be very honorable. No matter who it is, seeing this big man, it is a three-point respect, not to mention the Shenhou Mansion. people.

In the Shenhou mansion, there are like clouds of masters, but everyone respects Ximen Shenhou like a god, even Ximen Zhanying, who is his own daughter, is also very respectful to Shenhou.

Although the Lord of God is generally easy-going, he is not angry and self-possessed, and his happiness and anger are not visible. To achieve the position of the head of the Shenhou’s mansion, strategizing between the court and the rivers and lakes, like a fish in water, this is not something ordinary people can do.

However, Qi Ning’s few words from the cloud and mountain fog cover that Ximen Zhanying has not understood until now, but it makes Shenhou seem so excited, which is really beyond Ximen Zhanying’s expectations.

Even though the misunderstanding was resolved that night, Ximen Zhanying really didn’t have a good impression of those kind of playful children. In her heart, these people only knew that they were ignorant and ignorant assholes.

Although it was proved that night that Qi Ning could not be a blood-sucking murderer, and he passed by on the way, but Ximen Zhanying also knew that that night happened to be the choice of the Queen of Flowers on the Qinhuai River, a young noble boy who was still on the street in the middle of the night. On the top of my head, I know that I’m definitely not doing anything serious.

She was preconceived and judged early on that Qi Ning was a playboy who only knew about the romantic situation and had no knowledge, so she was a little disdainful. Today, Qi Ning and the gods were drinking, and she was forced to serve this playboy, and even more so. It made Ximen Zhanying furious and couldn’t let it out.

Moreover, Qi Ning’s several provocations made Ximen Zhanying even more disgusted.

However, the reasoning about the case on the table just now somewhat changed Ximen Zhanying’s impression of Qi Ning, but she still believed that Qi Ning’s reasoning was probably taught by his subordinates. Therefore, it is impossible to say that Qi Ning has a very good feeling.

Seeing Qi Ning’s remarks at this time actually made Shenhou’s attitude excited, she naturally understood her father, if it weren’t for the amazing words, even touching Shenhou, Shenhou would never have reacted like this, and couldn’t help but glance at Qi Ning glanced at him and thought, could it be that this little prince in brocade is really capable?

Qi Ning had a headache at this time, and finally explained abstract painting to Shenhou, but the old guy still thought it was not enough, so he asked about the Impressionist school, and it became more and more complicated to explain, so he could only say: “Shenhou, In fact, I didn’t understand it, and when I find the book, I will have a chance to explain it to you later, what do you think?”

“There is a chance.” Shenhou immediately smiled and said, “Little Houye, the old man and you met like old friends and we talked very much. You can come here more in the future. Well, this old man knows that Xiaohouye has a lot of things to do, so let’s not talk about it first. I’ll delay you, the little Marquis goes back and has time to look for it, the old man is here waiting for good news.”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that the old man was really impatient. He said that he should not delay himself, or just rush him to leave. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com asked himself to go back and help him find books.

He was also worried that the old goddess who stayed behind would still drag him to discuss the school of painting. The more he said, the more he said, this old goddess was born in the gods’ mansion. “Since that’s the case, I’ll leave first, and I’ll come to see Marquis God another day.”

“Okay!” Shenhou looked at Ximen Zhanying and said, “Ying’er, when you send the little Marquis back to the mansion, you must send the little Marquis there, just as an apology to make up for the misunderstanding of the little Marquis last time.”

Ximen Zhanying said anxiously, “Father, you let me…!”

“It’s not my father, it’s the lord of Shenhou’s mansion who ordered you to send it over.” Ximen Shenhou said solemnly.

Ximen Zhanying had no choice but to hold hands and say, “Subordinates obey!”

Qi Ning came over, looked at Ximen Zhanying with a smile, and said, “Miss Ying, the Marquis of God is so enthusiastic, but I am disrespectful, Miss Laoying will escort her to the house. With Miss Ying, there will never be someone inexplicable again along the way. Grab it.”

“You…!” Ximen Zhanying clenched his silver teeth and glared at Qi Ning, but he thought to himself, “The surname is Qi, don’t be too complacent, Feng Shui turns around, if someday You really fell into the hands of my aunt, and my aunt gave you a taste of what it means to survive without dying.”
